The Taurus moon likes to keep a steady pace. Gentle goals bring sure victory, whereas huge ones give you pressure. Just think of the next step – anything too far off will just frustration and overwhelming feelings. One thing at a time gets it done. The Libra sun is encouraging a compromise, and cooperation is a must.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You make lucky guesses and could even win money. As hard as it is for you to part with people, it’s time to move on from a toxic someone. Turn to those who appreciate you, and lavish your affections on them.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Don’t complain; just look for your chance to step in and perhaps save the day. Throw out odds and ends that clutter your closet, and you’ll free your mind to work for creative genius. Love is met who’s not entirely reliable.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). A project with someone who’s not entirely reliable gives you more room to shine. Utilize your unique talents. You could be the new blood in a different social circle. Stick to your guns in a romantic situation.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Start fresh in love, forgetting disappointments and forgiving transgressions. Speed is more important than accuracy at work. Telephone calls bring new accounts or make old clients return to you. Attention from a Leo is a thrill.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Results are just around the corner. Stay true to a prior commitment this afternoon, or someone you love will be extremely disappointed. Charm and wit are key tonight. You possess both, so use them to make people smile.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (September 25). This year, you influence others to be their best, not by telling anyone what to do but simply by following your heart. Those looking for work start next month. By November, you could be the new big boss! Strong and solid love relationships in January will benefit you in ways you couldn’t have foreseen. Your best signs for love are Taurus and Aries. Your lucky numbers are: 21, 24, 9, 22 and 18.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Be the responsible one – money slips through a partner’s fingers. Don’t be afraid to spend time alone, as this will allow you to assess your love relationship. You are capable of following through on what your heart tells you.

LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23). Self-confidence rockets you in to a good situation. When you finally slow down long enough to pamper yourself, exceptional romance blossoms. Living for the moment is the way to overcome your current reluctance to commit.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Sacrifices are recognized and rewarded. You are judged by your associations. At work, reach the largest audience possible – a promotion depends on your ability to spread the word! Make sure you stand out!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Things go better when you are in charge – of course, uncooperative people make your j ob more difficult. Use willower. Ask yourself honestly what is standing between you and the prosperity you deserve.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Life is full of surprises, both in love and business, so get ready to explore. Finances improve due to an outside job or creative interest. A loved one will ask you to commit. If you’re not ready, another chance comes soon.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Having a charity you regularly give to will prevent you from making those pressured, spur-of-the moment contributions to cusses you care much less abut. Romantic concerns dissipate, which is a sign of personal growth.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Ask for it, and it will be yours. Your silver tongue starts the ball rolling. You can be totally convincing. A romantic quandary can be solved with common sense, but you could find yourself in a shortage.

SINGLES, JUMP-START YOUR LOVE LIFE! (PART THREE OF FIVE): Singles, it’s time to take a look at how the different signs approach love and, with that information, give your sleepy romantic life new energy. Here’s a sign-by-sign guide to romance. VIRGO: Anywhere people gather for the purpose of health is definitely a hot spot for your love life. Whether it’s the gym or a cooking class, you’ll meet singles there with values you share. Your strict guidelines about dating might loosen up a bit, too, when you meet that special someone, even though he or she is a little eccentric. Your lucky love signs are Taurus and Sagittarius. LIBRA: You’re so much more comfortable when working in a team of like minds. Your next big love might actually be someone at work. If that’s all you needed to hear to ask someone out, you’re actually be someone at work. If that’s all you needed to hear to ask someone out, you’re on your way to a fabulous romance. If it doesn’t ring true, think about joining some professional organizations in your area. Networking among those who do what you do will have a doubly lucky effect on your life. You’ll expand your business knowledge and start an exciting relationship with someone who really understands what you do.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Born into the celebrity culture, Moon Zappa has an interesting perspective on American life that she recently chose to express through the writing of a novel. Terrific reviews could prompt a movie version of her musings. She is the daughter of the late Frank Zappa, so her eccentric perspective is no surprise. Her Libra sun encourages her to put her views across in an aesthetic and palatable manner.
